The role of preoperative biliary drainage on postoperative outcome after pancreaticoduodenectomy in patients with obstructive jaundice.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The role of preoperative biliary drainage (PBD) on obstructive jaundice patients is still controversial. The aim of this retrospective study is to clarify the effect of PBD on postoperative outcomes of pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) and explore a reasonable PBD strategy for periampullary carcinomas (PAC) patients with obstructive jaundice before surgery.

Methods

A total of 148 patients with obstructive jaundice who underwent PD were enrolled in this research and divided into drainage group and no-drainage group according to whether they received PBD.
